The current
global financial crisis and uncertain economic environment have
led to lower oil prices that, if sustained, may reduce our cash
flow and make it difficult for us to achieve our growth
objectives as defined in our
2009-2013
Business Plan.

The current global financial crisis and uncertain economic
environment that worsened in the second half of 2008 have led to
a worldwide decrease in demand for oil products. As a result,
prices for oil products have fallen and our cash flows have been
reduced. If oil prices remain low, we may be required to revise
our growth objectives, particularly in light of substantial
decreases in the availability of credit in the capital markets.
The global financial and economic situation may also have a
negative impact on third parties with whom we do, or may do,
business. Any of these factors may affect our results of
operations, financial condition and liquidity.
